Hmm, try starting gdm directly from the command line; errors should 
then get printed to the terminal.  Also look at /var/log/gdm*, if 
such a thing exists (here a /var/log/kdm.log exists).  Also look 
in /var/log/messages or the output of dmesg.

You can remove those two options from your conf file; they don't do 
anything.

To skip the attempt to use AIGLX, add this to your conf file:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Oh, and please don't top-post.
